The Mark Hughes Cellular & Molecular Nutrition Laboratory

The donation to establish the Mark Hughes Cellular & Molecular Nutrition Lab at UCLA is just one of the many examples of Herbalife’s dedication to science-based nutrition research.* This commitment began with Mark Hughes, the founder and inspiration of Herbalife, whose quest to improve people’s health led him to gather a team of medical and nutritional experts to create the original Herbalife formulas—the foundation upon which our extensive product line was built.

Setting New Standards

An independent center of excellence for analytical chemistry and testing, the Mark Hughes Lab’s mission is to advance nutritional science to new levels of understanding, using the most progressive technologies available. This includes the use of state-of-the-art “chemical profiling” methods to identify the complex families of active compounds in herbs and to study their actions on living cells.

Making a difference

The Mark Hughes Lab is an extension of Herbalife’s commitment to advance nutritional science in order to help people achieve optimal wellness and an improved quality of life.
